Formant Filter?

[kevteop]

Ack... I was browsing pedals last night and saw some (looked like a 3-knob, maybe all frequency settings) formant filter pedal somewhere, and thought "ooh, that might out-do my Bassballs", but I got all drunk and sloppy and can't remember where it was (if I had a nickel for every time...).

Anyone got any ideas?

Searching only turns up the Line 6 FM4 and I don't want one of those.

ummmm i'm think it might be a last gast art lab pedal. damn....i forgot.

 

[kevteop]

It's definitely in production. Might even be brand new.

Had a peek at their site but it's not there.

IIRC it was orange or brown with chrome knobs, three in a row, looked sort-of the same shape and dimensions of the old EHX "small" boxes (small clone/stone, bassballs, DoctorQ, etc.)

formant filters are rad. the bass balls is pretty great, and has a 'formant' sort of vibe... i wish that someone would make a true bypass pedal that was a 'dock' for doepfer or eurorack synth modules... it would be awesome if there was a box with the appropriate power supply built in, and you could slide modular modules into the top, and have that module in a pedal...

pinot noir will make you dream, i suppose...

Nothin beats the big black bassballs original sound in my opinion

Are you emailing Mario or am I? It would be killer to have half a dozen of those.

All the Bassballs sound the same to me, that's why I've got the littlest one (although I maybe should've kept the USA reissue and modded knobs for the trimpots).

And I think a three-filter pedal may well beat the two-filter Bassballs, depending on how tweakable it is. That's why I want to track it down!

I don't know maybe it was a Frostwave Funk a Duck

That isn't a formant filter, so it definitely wasn't that.

Nor is the Funk-A-Duck currently in production, as far as I know.

 

[loonybob123]

I saw this Formant Filter as I was browsing don't know if its what you want.

Yes, that's a Doepfer analogue synth module, not a guitar effect pedal.

If you do find a guitar stomp box formant filter please let me know, but the lack of a stomp switch and the inputs on the face kind-of give that away as not being one.

 

[loonybob123]

I know Line 6's filter modeler stompbox has a formant filter setting don't know how it compares though to the bassballs.

 

[kevteop]

I did mention in my opening post that I wasn't interested in the FM4.

I do appreciate you trying to help, but I'm looking for something specific. If you do come across it please post, but I don't think it can be found via Google. Maybe it's being launched at Namm this year I can't remember, but I definitely saw it last night on a page somewhere. Might've been some distributor's website.

 

[loonybob123]

I know I am sorry I realized that just now I am kind out of it

Not what you described and not in production anymore:

Do you remember anything else that could help finding that pedal?

 

[dannybuoy]

Try looking at your browser history. It's good for things like that!

 

[DiscoFreq]

I think I found it!

Totally Wicked Audio Little Dipper Formant Filter:

It's announced in the Godlyke newsletter, I can't find anything else about it...

Not what I described but very cool! Have you got/had one of those? How was it?

That's it! See, I told you it was orange or brown...

Nice work dude. Shame there's no more information about it yet though.

I never had the EH version, but I do have 2 of these:

They are exact copies of the EH pedal by a Polish company (late 70's, early 80's?). You can sweep through all the vowels.

There's also a vowel function like that on the Boss AW-3 (and the Behringer copy of that one).

That's it! See, I told you it was orange or brown...

Nice work dude. Shame there's no more information about it yet though.

I suppose we'll get more information during or after NAMM

count me in! I thought about a way to incorporate doepfer modules to my live set in a practical way, this may be it! the modular variation of the halfmodular moogerfooger! awesome!
